1) No, as long as it doesn't interfere with their moderating duties. I see no reason why they shouldn't be entitled to their own opinions just like everyone else.
2) No, of course not. Every one has their own opinions and should feel free to express them.
3) Yes, but in my experience it usually only happens when referring to above average authors.
4) Yes, but a mod is just a mod. Just because they may acknowledge someone doesn't mean that every one is going to freak out and read that authors stories. Mods have favorites just like everyone else. Their position doesn't make them lose their preferences or opinions.
5) Showing special or above average treatment to a group or individual on a regular basis.
6) Yeah, romance fics. It seems like every story I read just has to have some kind of romance subplot. Even the best epic fics are like that. I've read more fics than I can count that have been ruined by romance... usually in stories that claim to be gen and then put in a pairing at the reviewers urging.
7) Its a no brainer that certain "popular" pairings generally get more limelight and notice. It's not something that can be helped. People will read what they like and as long as others write that brand of story then they’re going to keep having it.
8) Yes. Its simple- if I like the authors work then I look for more of it. That’s all really.
9) Not really. I'm sure it happens to some people, but most forums I'm in judge by the quality of your posts and how you present yourself. I'm quite sure that if I was to make a first post on a site using all netspeak, I wouldn't be taken seriously at all. I think it's all in how you present yourself.
10) Of course, it happens all the time!
Part II: Wank (as in to put down a fanfic, not the other definition)
1) Wank is acceptable when the person receiving it completely deserves it. Usually when someone is lacking the common sense to realize they're making an ass of themselves.
2) When it becomes more about the person themselves rather than the action or situation.
3) I'm not well known enough to have been.
4) Yes.
5) I think we all have in one way or another,
6) I've witnessed it begin, but I didn't try to stop it. I'm odd that way, and think that wank is amusing.
Part III: Reviews
1) When it's more about say...having a slash pairing, or a pairing someone doesn't like rather than the plot or quality of the writing. When they're just being malicious.
2) When it's deserved.
3) Nope. My stories usually die out due to lack of time on my part.
